SciLifeLab Anubis

SciLifeLab aims to support events within the scope of our fields of research, open to participants from all over Sweden. We aim to encourage collaboration among and between SciLifeLab infrastructure and researchers, as well as with external organizations, and increase awareness of SciLifeLab to the broader research community in Sweden and abroad. A SciLifeLab infrastructure platform/unit or a SciLifeLab group leader must be the organizer or a visible co-organizer.

Detailed information about the call can be found in this document

The unit for Chemical Biology (Chemical Biology Consortium Sweden - CBCS) at SciLifeLab is looking for chemical biology projects to support. We provide world-leading expertise to academic groups across Sweden in a collaborative project model.

This call is intended for projects with a clearly defined need for services from more than one unit of the CBGE platform. The purpose is to investigate the mechanism-of-action and/or molecular targets of small molecules identified in activities such as phenotypic assays or other screening efforts. Projects aimed at understanding the mechanism of existing drugs, or projects in drug repositioning and drug repurposing are equally suitable. Other modalities can be considered.

WASP and DDLS announce a joint call for NESTs (Novelty, Excellence, Synergy, and Teams) projects that span across the thematic profiles of DDLS and WASP. A NEST should address a specific strategic high-priority research challenge with international impact and visibility that requires the gathered competence of a multidisciplinary team of investigators in order to be solved. The added value from collaboration between WASP and DDLS, but also within each of the programs, should be clearly emphasized. Scientific novelty, originality and impact, as well as their relevance to Swedish industry and/or society are important.

This call aims to provide funding for research investigating the human and social challenges of data-driven strategies developed and applied within the life sciences. The research should aim to increase the understanding of how using artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous systems, and data-driven methodologies has effects and consequences in the life sciences, medicine, and/or society.

Nomination for SciLifeLab Group Leaders 2024

The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) is a 12-year initiative funded with a total of 3,1 billion SEK from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The purpose of the program is to recruit and train the next-generation of data-driven life scientists and to create globally leading computational and data science capabilities in life science in Sweden.

One part of the program is to establish a research school for 260 PhDs, within both academia and industry. The aim of the DDLS Research School is to educate highly skilled and competent professionals who will make a significant contribution to the field of life science research in Sweden.

The PhD students will be recruited to a host university/organization in Sweden, aiming to link them up with strong local research environments as well as with the national DDLS program.

As the PhD candidates are recruited at a host university in Sweden, they will be enrolled as members of the DDLS Research School and expected to take part in the DDLS Research School activities (networking events, courses, scientific visits, etc.).

The DDLS program will focus on four strategic areas of data-driven research: cell and molecular biology, evolution and biodiversity, precision medicine and diagnostics, epidemiology and biology of infection.

The purpose of the program is to recruit and train the next-generation of data-driven life scientists and to create globally leading computational and data science capabilities in life science in Sweden.

DDLS will establish a research school for 260 PhDs, with two components, one focussing on academic PhD students and one for industrial PhD students. The aim of the DDLS Research School is to educate highly skilled and competent professionals who will make a significant contribution to the field of life science research in Sweden.

The industrial PhD students will be employed or recruited to a company in the life science sector in Sweden, aiming to link them up with strong local research environments at universities as well as with the national DDLS program. The admission process and training will take place at the participating Universities.

Three Research Environment and Development (RED) Postdoctoral Fellowship grants are open for applications in 2024. RED Postdoc Fellows will receive a 2-year contract (1 MSEK/yr) to work on self-designed research projects. Successful candidates will be matched to an existing research group and embedded in the unique interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment at SciLifeLab Campus Solna.
